A 337 page paperback written by Stanton Greene, copyright 2017.
Are any of you familiar with it? It's got 3.7 stars out of 40 reviews on Amazon.
For someone who, indeed, HC'd the best Packer season (1972) during that infamous quarter-century dry spell in Green Bay, Devine in hindsight sure gets the mixed reviews in retrospect.
EDIT - I'm not much on reading books, sadly. And I haven't read any of the football books yet mentioned here. First, of course, would have to be Zagorski's '70s NFL and '72 Packers books (and Bill Bradley, etc) whenever it is that I do purchase and get to them. Then, maybe, this Devine book later on if enough of you recommend it. I do hear that the author also wrote a book on Bart Starr's time as Packers HC (there's a thread on it here, I see) and according to a review, the reviewer said that it was mentioned in the book that LB Ed O'Neil (just one 'l') who played for the Packers in 1980 after playing for Detroit and Penn St before that was...the one on 'Married With Children' which may be a red flag.
The Green Bay Packers, The Dan Devine Years, 1971-1974
